"In the post-meditative experience become a child of illusion" is a slogan from the Tibetan mind training tradition. We engage the world as we experience it all the while realizing that reality is not as it seems to be.

Bottled water
Did you know this?
Americans add over 30 million plastic water bottles to our nation's landfills – every day!
Yes, I've been guilty of this too (well, not 30 million bottles, but...) I haven't drunk tap water in years, living in Fresno where the tap water is pretty iffy. We get our water delivered in 5-gallon containers, and I'd re-use and refill a standard plastic water bottle (you know, Dasani, Aquafina, whatever) but I found that the bottles weren't sturdy or would get thrown away. So I recently bought a beautiful cobalt blue water bottle from our university bookstore, complete with logo. It's bigger, sturdier, and won't get thrown away, I suspect. Of course, it's made in China. *sigh*
